PHCC body lymph/body

lymphatic system and body defenses

QuestionAnswer
The lymphatic is a circulatory system transports fluid called what? lymph
The lymphatic system consists of 8 parts what are they? 1 ) Lymph 2) lymph vessels 3) lymph nodes 4) tonsils 5)spleen 6) thymus glands 7) Peyer's patches 8)red bone marrow
What are the primary functions of the lymphatic system? 1) to drain fluid from tissue spaces that escape (oozes) form capillaries 2) transports fats from the digestive system to the blood 3) produces lymphocytes 4) develops immunities
The fluid the escapes (seeps) from capillaries into tissues spaces is called what? interstitial(between cells) fluid
The result of insufficient draining of interstitial fluid is called what? edema
The concentration of lymph vessels are called what? lymph nodes or lymph glands
What is the shape of lymph nodes? beans
Lymph nodes are found every where along the length of the lymphatic system. What are the 3 areas of lymph node concentration? 1) cervical (neck) 2) axillary ( armpit 3) inguinal or iliac (groin)
The circulation of lymph through the lymph vessels is maintained by what? normal skeletal muscles contraction
Swelling of the lymph nodes is called what? lymphadenopathy
What are the 3 groups of tonsils? 1) palantine tonsils 2) pharyngeal tonsils 3) Lingual tonsils
The palantine tonsils are located in the tonsillar fossa (grove), between the pharyngopalatine and glossopalatine of arches on either side the posterior of the what?. oral cavity
The pharyngeal tonsils are the adenoids located where? close to the internal orifice of the nasal cavity (nasopharynx)
The lingual tonsils are located on the posterior surface of what? the tongue at its base
In their positions the tonsils form a protective ring against harmful what? the microorganisms that might enter the nose or oral cavity
The spleen is is shaped like what? an oval (calzone)
The spleen is the single largest mass of what? lymphatic tissue in the body
The spleen in located where? in the superior left corner of the abdominal cavity
What is the function of the spleen? 1) filters the blood to phagocytize bacteria, worn out platelets ( thrombocyte ) and erythrocytes (RBC) 2) releases hemoglobin ( HgB) from the worn out RBCs 3) acts as a reservoir for blood 4) produces lymphocytes
Peyer's Patches are AKA? aggerated lymphatic follicles
Peyer Patches resemble what? tonsils
Peyer patches are found where? in the walls of the small intestines (duodenum, jejunum and ileum)
The Peyer's patches are responsible for what? preventing bacteria from infecting and penetrating the walls of the intestine
Red bone marrow is found where? 1) sternum 2) vertebrae 3) ribs 4) ilium 5) the ends of the humerus and femur
Red bone marrow is the site of stem cells are capable of dividing and producing blood cells (hematopoiesis.Some of these cells become leukocytes such as: 1)Monocytes ( phagocytic) 2) neutrophils ( phagocytes 3) basophils ( release histamine) 4) eosinophils ( toxins, helminths=worms) 5) lymphocytes ( produces antibodies) (Monkeys Never Eat Little Banana)
Lymphocytes are categorized as what ? 1) B lymphocytes ( B cells) 2) T lymphocytes ( T cells)
B lymphocytes ( B cells) mature where? the bone marrow
Some B lymphocytes ( b cells produce what? antibodies
Antibodies are immune proteins that bind to antigens and tag the antigen for destruction by what? immune system
Antibodies are specialized meaning what? the only a specific antigen ( virus,bacteria,fungus,etc.) will be attacked
Antibody production is the only mechanism that can defeat what? a viral infection
Other B lymphocytes (B cells) become dormant and are responsible for a more potent and rapid antibody response during subsequent exposures to the same antigen. These dormant B lymphocytes are called what? memory cells
memory cells are responsible for a lasting immunity .These type of antibodies include: 1)IgG 2)IgM 3)IgA 4)IgD 5)IgE , Ig stands for immunoglobulins
How does a person develop antibodies ? By what 2 methods? 1) a person contract a pathological antigen 2) a person is exposed to an attenuated or inactive pathological antigen
What does attenuated mean in reference to antigens? the antigen has been crippled
What does inactivated mean in reference to antigens? the antigen has been dead
An attenuated or inactivated antigen does not cause disease but will trigger the B cells to what? to produce antibodies
The administration of an attenuated or inactivated antigen is called what? vaccination , inoculation , immunization
Booster immunizations are designed to stimulate the production of what? more memory B cells
What is MMR? measles, mumps and rubella
What is the common trade names for the MMR vaccination? Priorix, Tresivac, Trimovax
What does OPV ( IPV) mean? oral ( inactivated ) polio vaccine
What does DPT mean? diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus
DTaP ( Daptacel) is a DPT vaccine for what age group? 1-7
Tdap ( Adacel)(Boostrix)is what? DPT booster
What is VZV ? varicella zoster virus ( causes chick-pox)
What is Varivax? a common trade name for a varicella vaccine
What Hepatovax? a Hepatis B vaccine
What is EnergixB? a Hepatis B vaccine
What is Recombivax HB ? a Hepatis B vaccine
What is MCV? Meningococcus Vaccine to prevent bacterial meningitis
MCV4 (for ages 2-55) and MOSV4 (for ages over 55) are what? MCVs
What is Menomune and Menactra? MCVs
What is Hib? Haemophilus Influenzae b
What do Hib vaccine prevent? bacterial meningitis
What is PPV? pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine
PPV prevents what? pneumococcal pneumonia and meningitis
Prevnar is what? a PPV
Pneumovax 23 is what? a PPV
Pnu-Immune 23 is what? a PPV
What is HPV? human papilloma virus (causes genital warts)
What is Gardasil? HPV vaccine
What is herpes Zoster is AKA shingles, what is the common trade named vaccine for Herpes Zoster? Zostavax
What is RV? rota-virus it causes profound diarrhea in infants and children
What is Rota Teq? a RV vaccine
Do we still vaccinate against Smallpox? No
A blood test used to determine th amount of a specific antibody present is called what? antibody titer
CD8T lymphocytes (killer cells) destroy body cells that have been invaded by what? viruses and destroys cancer cells
CD4T lymphocytes ( helper cells) increase the activity of killer cells, stimulates B cells and activate what other cells? monocytes
A CD4 T cell count less than 200 indicates the transition form HIV to what? AIDS
paroxysmal sudden acute
diagnosis the prediction of outcome of a disease
two forms of Lupus Erythematosus DLE= butterfly rash SLE= generlaized rash,sensitive to light, arthralgia and myalgic, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, heart and kidney disease
